In the news: Jerry Coleman and Robert Brewer

Baseball and politics: During a “name-the-Padres broadcasters” quiz at Petco Park this week, one contestant enthusiastically answered, “John Coleman.” Since John Coleman is the KUSI weather announcer, she must be a fair weather fan. The sportscaster, of course, is Jerry Coleman.

Robert Brewer, a private practice attorney eyeing a run for District Attorney, is getting some community face time. He attended a “meet and greet” friend raiser this week co-hosted by community leaders Malin Burnham and Cheryl Kendrick.
